Biography
Javier Lappin was an escaped slave-turned-pirate who prowled the Caribbean Sea in search of profit. In October 1722 he was captured by authorities of Spain and was held in Havana, Cuba, on trial for piracy. He was sentenced to death by hanging in a public place, but he was rescued by Edward Kenway, who shot the captain overseeing the execution with a berserk dart and killed the other Spanish troops. Lappin escaped the noose and Kenway cut his bonds after all the guards were killed, and Lappin became a member of his crew onboard the "Jackdaw".
